A Master of Metaphor

Click any image for larger view. Click any image for larger view. JAVIER JEAN BENAVIDES IS A SPANISH ILLUSTRATOR who I have reported on in the past. Javier is a master of metaphor who continues to inspire me with his ability to bring new meaning by the pairing of ordinary objects. The genius of what he does is how he sees. This man sees beauty in the mundane and poetry in their form. In the past I compared Javier Jaén Benavides vision to that of the great Saul Steinberg. I still believe that.
